spiritual dimension:

seeking meaning and purpose in human existence. It could involve seeking answers to philosophical questions, such as: ''Why am I here?'' and ''What is life about?'' For some, organized religion and faith in a personal God provides answers. For others, introspection as well as being in touch with nature and their environment/universe helps to provide answers.

I recently polled some friends as to their personal definition of wellness and although each was unique and distinct yet there was a synonymous streamlining of their sense of wellness which is that ' wellness ' is a holistic concept and one of balance, encompassingrepparttar 115666 ' whole ' person and all aspects of their life. It seemed to be unanimous that keeping these aspects balanced can be like a juggling act and if just one dimension is out of balance, it will upsetrepparttar 115667 others.

The promise ofrepparttar 115665 springtime, Of fragrant sweet perfume; Is there withinrepparttar 115666 tiny seed, Inrepparttar 115667 promise ofrepparttar 115668 bloom.

THINK SPRING, BE PREPARED TO BLOOM!

It is easy to love Spring. Throughoutrepparttar 115669 ages, humans have taken a natural delight in participating in Spring's approach and joyously welcoming her arrival. Spring isrepparttar 115670 season of birth. It isrepparttar 115671 season when life and inspiration and creativity arise from her season of hibernation.

We need to welcomerepparttar 115672 spirit of Spring into our inner beings. We need to take delight inrepparttar 115673 beauty and wonder and magnificence around us. We need to be joyful in being alive to experience life and all its gifts and treasures. So many of them have your name on them but are you ready to receive them? Is there room in your soul for them or is your soul in hibernation, still needing to be roused from its slumber?

Sometimes it seems difficult to empowerrepparttar 115674 Spring within ourselves. What are we heavy laden with which inhibits us from breaking forth into a new dimension of life, of playfulness, of wonder, of adventure, of exploration, of creativity? Why won't we SPRING FORTH into newness and joy?

What might you be tolerating, putting up with, that hinders your forward progress?
